Opinions on this color combo

I've started looking for a 996 Turbo and found one locally. 2002, 35k miles, records since at least 2007(possibly earlier), what I think is a reasonable price, overall pretty good shape. People seem to hate the color combo. Speed yellow with a brown interior and the wood trim package. Odd, but I didn't think the combo was that bad and that's all that matters, but what's your opinion?

It wasn't quite as orange in person as in the picture. I think that's mainly from my settings in lightroom.

That's not a brown interior - it's natural leather. I'm a big fan of natural leather. I think the best match for that colour is something that contrasts greatly - like black, or dark blue, even red. Unfortunately, yellow does not contrast at all. It just looks like a poor color match.

Is yellow the original colour for that car?

I have natural brown with basalt black, looks terrific. Not so much with speed yellow.

If you like it, it's all that matters for now. You'll take a big hit most likely at time to sell, if you even can, when that time comes.

And we wonder why these cars are priced at a "Great deal."


Price should speak for itself here. With no disrespect, the prior owner didnt want to be seen in it with 35K.

I think the guy might be the original owner. He has some questionable taste with a few things but supposedly takes really good care of his cars. He's replacing the car with a GT4 or I don't think he'd be selling.

Horrible combo, imo. If you like it, take advantage of the lack of competitive buyer interest to negotiate a low price.
